Since 1984, Inspired Youth has been enriching the academic lives of students in Chicago's Uptown, Edgewater and Rogers Park neighborhoods. During our time, thousands of students have come through our tutoring program and gained the knowledge to improve their English reading and writing, math and science comprehension, which paves the way for them to succeed in school. We also provide bi-annual conflict resolution and empathy programs to help with their soft skills and combat some issues kids face across the country, but especially in underserved communities.

Developing our neighborhood youth so that they feel confident in succeeding in their future is at the core of our mission, and is part of the reason many of our current students are siblings or children of former students. Our dedication and focus on one-on-one tutoring has earned us recognition from numerous organizations, including the Chicago Bar Association.
